Hello, please see the attached message. The Debian Gnome team needs help to properly maintain the update-manager/update-notifier packages.
I'm giving it a try. Regards, T.
In this specific case, maintaining also means developing some code (inpython) to properly integrate those ubuntu-originated software in Debian.Those software are important for many beginners using the Debian desktopso I hope we will find some volunteers. They have been removed from testing due to RC bugs (though those are relatively easy to fix) and really need some love as bugs tend to accumulate otherwise. http://packages.qa.debian.org/u/update-manager.html http://packages.qa.debian.org/u/update-notifier.html Cheers, -- Raphaël Hertzog Le best-seller français mis à jour pour Debian Etch : http://www.ouaza.com/livre/admin-debian/ De : Gustavo Noronha Silva <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date : 2 juin 2008 22:02:21 HAEC À : Raphael Hertzog <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>Cc : Pierre Habouzit <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [EMAIL PROTECTED], Philipp Kern <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Objet : Rép : Policy wrt to removal of packages which are part of a taskHey, On Mon, 2008-06-02 at 16:33 +0200, Raphael Hertzog wrote:Josselin told that they need volunteers in the Gnome team to take care of those packages and that he should prod Gustavo. Loic then told that we shouldn't count on Gustavo because he sent a mail a few months ago statingthat he had no time for Debian anymore.Not really for all of my work in Debian (although for a large chunk of it =/), but I didn't have enough time to keep up the workupdate-notifier requires. It is quite a lot of utnubu work, figuring outwhere ubuntu deviates from Debian on stuff such as python-apt, and it does involve writing a bit of code and sending patches to the ubuntu maintainer from time to time. As for the removal of update-*, the problem does seem to be quitestraightforward to solve, but it would really be nice to try to upgradethe package to the newest ubuntu version, too. While I have no time tobe the responsible maintainer, I'm up for working with anyone who wantsto get those back into testing. See you, -- Gustavo Noronha Silva <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Debian Project
